Popovitch: Gi is boring, I don't like it, No-gi is a better Sport

I think I agree. Some people want to play chess. Some people want to play speed chess. You're going to have to have a pretty good argument to show that speed-chess is going to totally replace the chess that people have been playing for a long time (which can take hours).

I suspect that time pressure adds something to any game.

I think of the relationship between gi and no-gi sub grappling as being more like that of Karate and Muay Thai.

Edit:
Actually, "karate" is too vague a term and encompasses too many things.

Tae Kwon Do and Muay Thai is probably more the way I actually think of them.
